【有关美国Fox电视台主持人Bob Beckel必須道歉并引咎辞职的声明】

针对日前FOX News Channel(FNC)时事谈话节目The Five主持人Bob Beckel在节目中公然发表针对华人的种族歧视和诬蔑言论，美國国会议员罗伊斯、趙美心，加州州参议员刘云平、Bob Huff，加州众议员周本立以及美国华裔民选官员协会会长劳朱嘉仪等，均发表明，要求Bob Beckel为此道歉，并引咎辞职。美國华裔社区为民选官员在维护华裔利益的关键时刻站出来，击掌叫好!

到目前为止，美国三大主流电视台在其主要话题栏目中，均出现过较为强烈的对华歧视性及辱华言论。从2008年4月份的CNN电视台到去年12月份的ABC，再到今天的Fox出现同一类问题，并非偶然，问题的背后是美国社会仍然存在的对华人、对中国的偏见。

对此，我们华人社区乃至全球华人华侨必须团结一致，发出我们的吼声：（一）、美国是一个多族裔、多元文化的国家，华人是建设美国的有功之臣，绝 对不容忽視与歧视！（二）、媒体公众人物有言论的自由，但不能伤害其他族裔，尤其是华裔！（三）、中国是美国的友好邻邦，中、美建设「新型大国关系」，使 世界走向進一步繁荣穩定，是两国元首达成的共识，是美國乃至全球华人华侨的共同願望，决不允許个别人詆毀破坏！

我们要求Fox电视台对此做出解释，我们要求Bob Beckel为此道歉，并引咎辞职！我们热切呼吁在美的华人更加积极努力地融入、参与美国社会的各项事务建设，用我们斐然的成绩来证明我们是美国社会伟大 的族群，是美国社会不可或缺的中坚社区，是繁荣美国经济的重要力量，是促進世界和平的生力军。

美国是一个追求自由、平等、民主和捍卫人类尊严的伟大国家，在美的华人族群理应得到公平的对待而不是受歧视。维护华人权益，捍卫祖籍国尊嚴，追求种族平等，促進世界和平，是我們义不容辞的責任与义务！

Bob Beckel Must Apologize and Resign

Bob Beckel of Fox News’s “The Five,” recently made racist and discriminative comments about Chinese people. U.S. Congressman Ed Royce, California State Senator Ted Lieu, Congresswoman Judy Chu, Bob Huff of State Senate, California State Assembly Member Ed Chau and President of Chinese-American Elected Officials Polly Low request that Bob Beckel apologize for what he said and resign from his position. The Chinese communities are applauding the officials they elected for standing up at a crucial moment to safeguard the rights of Chinese Communities.

Three major television stations in the United States and their main topic columns have used racist and prejudicial languages to slander Chinese. From CNN in April of 2008 to ABC in last December, and now Fox News, they all choose to use discriminatory language toward Chinese.  It’s no accident. The problem behind the scene is that xenophobia towards Chinese still exists among Americans. 

In this regard, we must unite the Chinese communities here in America, as well as Chinese all over the world, make our voice heard loud and clear: (a) The United States is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural nation. Chinese here are the major contributors to the development of American society, we are not to be discriminated. (b) Public figures have the freedom of speech, but not to harm other ethnic groups. (c) It is the mutual wish and understanding of Chinese people and American people and their leaders to maintain and promote world peace and prosperity.  No one should attempt to destroy this.

We request that Fox News explain this in detail. We want to see Bob Beckel apologize and resign. We urge Chinese to actively participate in American current affairs, and use our achievements to show that we are one of the great communities. We are an integral part of the backbone of American society. We are an important force for the prosperity of the United States and the world.

The United States is a great country for us to pursue freedom, equality, democracy, and to defend dignity. Chinese community in the United States should be treated fairly and not be discriminated. It is our responsibility and obligation to safeguard Chinese interests and civil rights, to defend the dignity of Chinese nation, to pursue racial equality, and to promote world peace.
